My Raymarine finder on the ski has died after 10 years of good service

I’m a bit out of touch on what fishfinders people are using on skiis these days. Any recommendations gratefully received

I can't help with specifics, but I would prioritise waterproofness over all other considerations. Talk to this guy: https://www.gcjetskifishing.com/

I have a Lowrance Elite FS9 on my 2022 FXHO, mounted on the left hand side. LOVE IT. Thought at first maybe the 9 would be too big but turned out to be great. It runs with a 3:1 transducer hanging off the back with no issues for 160+ hours. I'm selling that ski currently. On my 2025 Jetfish, it came standard with a Garmin 6 inch. Tough to go back down to that size but what it lacks in size it makes up for in ease of use, ready to go out of the box and the screen clarity is great. Long story short -- you'll be spoilt for choice I think. Can't go too wrong these days. I've also used Humminbird back in my kayaking days. No issues with those either.
